Sorry for the late report! 207.216.246.242 Its been a bit since the contest , things are well underway to place a new floor in the school . Vicky is locating the best pricess localy for the products she needs before the purchase is made. I have had these numbers for a while now and for some reason had not taken the time to place them on the board and for that I apoligize. So today for all of you folks that contributed and for all of you folks that are thinking of contributing and for everyone in genral for your information. I will at this time give you the run down on the funds. Margarita Auction 9050 Silent auction 22400 T shirt 5400 meals 2631.9 donations 1763.10 That gave us a grand total of 41245.00 after expense. Now true to our word we have placed the money in trust with The Jaltemba Foandation.Not to be confuses with other groups this is the group that many local heroes have taken there time and efforts to accredit. I believe at this time they have there tax certifcation from both US and Mexican athorities. Its not hard to believe the buruecrates in Canada are still trying to finger out whoes desk its suposed to be on . Probly this summer when there is a summer student for them to pass it to it might get done . God help us if a canadian buerecrat had to do somthing themselves!! But I digress! The foandation Has been given instructions to split the monies of the contest to the 2 seperate groups as is our direction. One the Vickies charities group and two,the Emeliano Zapata Primary school in Rincon De Guayabitos. From these monies each group can access up to 15000.00 pesos each for the purchase of there needs. To the best of my info I believe Vicky is at the present time putting together an order for her needs . When that is in place the monies will be used to cover those cost up to 15000.00 pesos to the supplier. The school is haveing a floor placed in clasrooms . When that is acomplished monies up to 15000.00 will be paid to the contractor for the work. Now I know all of you guys are wondering where oh where the rest of the monies will go. The 11245.00 will be held by the foandation for emergency access by both of these groups to insure there are some funds to provide for unforseen situations . Such as a new tire for the Vicky moble jeep or a nesseity that has no other imediate funding deemed nessisary. Likewise the school. Now further, to the way funds will be spent! All monies collected from the efforts of the Margerita Challenge from all sorces will be spent directly into the local economy !!!!!!!!!!! It is the intention of this group to suport the community that suports them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Until Walmart Home Depot and Staples become supporters of the local economy funds made from within the community will stay right where they came from! At the risk of preaching, something we could all learn from. Hopefully this will give all a good Idea how everything boiled down. Any questions please just ask!!! todeleeedooo jiminalta
